Further to this thread, I have recently paid a visit to inspect the crash site of a CFIT altimeter misreading incident
http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/14735...ml#post1551585
Locating the site was fairly easy, although it is remote on high terrain (for the south of England).
I was dismayed how forgotten the incident has been. The details of the fatalities are
here along with further information and location map.
I thought that it was usual to place a memorial at such sites, but there is nothing, and access is barred to the road on the left, although the location of the initial ground contact can be clearly inspected.
I left feeling that nearly 40 international passengers of the plane had died, and their final moment had passed into history. In another generation when the map has disappeared from the net, the event will be totally forgotten and disregarded. What a sad passing of a bit of history!
